THE WRONG KIND OF TOMATOES

Wilson and Byron burst into my room shortly after dawn, in a state of great agitation.

Between them they explained that W's tomatoes were growing 'all wrong' and they feared they were growing the 'wrong kind' of tomatoes.


I pulled on my dressing gown and they took me out to show me the plants, which now have a number of baby green tomatoes on them. 


I said they looked like they were coming on well and told them they had both done a good job caring for them.


In unison, two sad voices objected that they are 'Tiny. And green!' 'We wanted big, red ones,' Wilson explained. 'Not ones that look like green peas!'
